Chapter 12- Secrets coming out part 1
I'm still pondering in my head tell I notice Wheeljack had gone back into his bipedal form. The first thought to my head was if he was leaving. He just got here. He can't leave yet. What am I saying its none of my business if he chooses to leave or stay. I look up at him, giving him a curious look. "What? It gets uncomfortable staying in holoform for to long." He states looking back at me. Boy, do I know how you feel. At least you can go back and forth, I think to myself. "I guess I can see that." I say trying to act understanding. I mean I do understand, but I haven't been in my bipedal mode in so long, I don't even remember what it feels like to be uncomfortable in my holoform. I walk the bike back over to the side of the shop. After putting the tarp over, Wheeljack and I walk back inside the shop. I have Charger transform into her bipedal mode. "So where do you hide your Energon?" Wheeljack asked me getting down closer to my level. I was so hoping he would of forgotten. What am i saying? If you need Energon, you don't forget.
"Um yeah, let me go get you some, but can you wait outside. I'm not ready to show where i stash it." He nodded, seeming to understand. I have Charger walk with me, seeing as i'm going to need her to pick up one of the bigger cylinders of Energon for Wheeljack. I go over to the other side of the shop and flick the switch. I watch the cylinder like elevator rise up. I step in and it takes me down. Once I get down I open up the top floor so I can have Charger lift some energon up. I have her grab one that is ready and climb up her hand as well to be taken up. I jump down off her hand as she gets above the ground. I keep her turned around, not to let Wheeljack see just yet.
I start to walk out to him to let him know I have the Engergon. But I hear him talking to someone. "...Understood, send the coordinates. I'm still at Shelby and Chargers place." He said. He took his hand off his comm link. I stood just behind him. I didn't want him to leave. I don't know why I don't. I wish I knew. I coughed, to get him to notice I was near. He turned around and looked down at me. "That Energon will have to wait, I have to go be back up for Prime." he kneeled down in front of me. "Oh okay. Well go save the day then. " I say to him trying to lighten the mood. "I'll be back soon, I promise." He says, taking his digit and removes a strand of hair that was in front of my face. He then starts his walk over to his ship. Before stepping onto his ship, he takes one last look at me. Giving me a small smile, then he walks into his ship. I watch as it starts to take off. And I keep staring tell I can't see it anymore.
I immediately walk over to Charger and have her put the energon back down in the storage unit. Part of me was thankful that Wheeljack had to leave. My secret is still safe...for now. What will I do if this happens again. I should try and find a way to make the synthetic energon look like normal energon. I am not sure how I will be able to do that. I would need to do a lot of research. I need to get this figured out as soon as possible. I don't have much time to do that. I start to pace back and forth, questioning myself. I have never been so worried about something. Well besides when I was captured. I shiver at the thought of it.
Soon the sun starts to set. I am still pacing back and forth. If I were in my bipedal mode, I might have caused wear in the floor. Wheeljack still hasn't come back either. I'm sure he got busy with the others and forgotten all about me. Like I always am. I have over thought myself. My mind has gone into a depression. One that i'm not sure how to get out of. I stop pacing and look outside. the sun is behind the woods now. I feel as though I should go recharge. I have Charger transforms into her alt mode and I crawl in. I don't have the energy to go up to the berthroom. I toss and turn in my alt mode. I'm not sure I will be able to go into recharge. But soon enough, It starts to consume me.
*Flash back*
I was driving, I don't know where, just driving. I know I need energon. But I don't know where to find it. I know how to make it. The formula was given to me. By who, I do not know. I just know it. It feels as if it's been burned into my processer. I can't get it to stay in the back of my mind. It's like it wants to me to use it. To make the synthetic energon. But I don't have anywhere to make it. I might of been able to create at a way of making it, if I had some cybertronian tech. But I had to leave my stasis pod and destroy it. As humans we're starting to form around the area I was hiding in. Maybe if I could find a downed ship. Something, anything would help me at this point. I don't even know if other cybertronian's have landed in this planet. I haven't seen anyone since I got here. And that was who knows how long ago.
My scanner starts to pop up a energon signal. It's coming off road. I immediately turn off the road and drive faster. This could be my last chance to find some energon. If I don't get energon asap, I may not last another stellar cycle. I'd like to hopefully one day go back to Cybertron. Maybe find my creators. Wouldn't that be nice. I just wish I could remember them. I'm driving down the middle of a canyon now. The cliffs high up above me. Looming over me. I drive down the center, the river that was once here, is long since dried up. The energon signal getting stronger the further down the canyon I drive. I wonder if there are others on this planet that need energon too. Maybe I'll meet someone else who has crashed here to escape the war. Only one way to find out.
Soon enough I'm nearing the source of the energon. I don't see anyone else around. I pull up behind a boulder and transform. My gears moving and shifting into place. The hydraulics hiss and puff out air as I stand. I stand about 15 feet tall. I'm still only a youngling. I've had to grow up pretty fast though. My creators put me in a stasis pod and sent me off Cyberton, to save me from the war. They didn't want to lose me. I understand why they did it, but it would of been nice to grow up with my creators. I miss them. Even if I can't remember their names or what they look like. Anyway, I look around to make sure I didn't miss anything. No one around, I walk closer to the source of the energon. My armor gleaming in the sunlight. I put my servo against the cliff and see if I can feel a weak spot. I don't have weapons of any sort. So I'll have to resort to finding a weak spot and punching the wall.
I think I may have found a weak spot. I bring my arm back ready to punch, but next thing I know, I feel electricity run though my frame. Then everything goes black. Then next thing I can remember is waking up chained down to a table, a older, scar face human in a green uniform, looking down at me. He had an evil smirk on his face. Before I can say or do anything, or even try and struggle. I'm in screaming pain. My frame and wires are on fire. I can't stop screaming.
*End flash back*
I wake up screaming. I sit up in Chargers alt. As I huff and puff, I check my body. I realize I'm still a holoform and I'm sitting in my alt mode. In Chargers alt mode. My body hurts, like it did in my nightmare. I still remember the pain I felt then. That was 20 some odd years ago. I try not to keep track. It felt like it was happening all over again. I feel condensation fall down my face. I'm overheating. I need to calm down. I open the door and step out of Charger. Rubbing my hands over my face, I walk over to the computer. I look up at the screens, nothing has changed, accept for the time. Its almost 3 in the morning. There is no way I will be able to go back into recharge now.
I sit there for what seems like hours. In reality it was only one hour. A signal popped up on my screen, shaking me from my daze. It is a Autobot ship coming close to my shield. I get up quick and run outside. Charger transforming as well and running up behind me. I watch the ship begin a downward descend and land on my property. The ramp of the ship slowly comes down, Its hissing hydraulics letting out some steam. I watch as a white, red and green bot steps out. The moment we make eye contact, we both smile. I could feel the heat rise in my cheeks. I quickly look away to try and get myself to cool down. I feel the ground shake as Wheeljack walks over to me. Feeling my face is a little cooler, I look up to him. "How did it go?" I asked him. "Blew some things up, smashed some 'cons. Went well I think." He said kneeling down in front of me. All I see now is more of a white silhouette of him in the darkness as the lights from his ship have turned off. The sun not yet starting to rise. "Well then that's good." I said turning and walking back into the shop, Charger at my heels.
I turn on the lights. I cover my eyes to not blind myself. Then I turn back to Wheeljack, who followed us in. "Oh Optimus told me to tell you that he is coming to visit you today. He commed me after I didn't come back with Ratchet. Why are you awake?" He questions looking down at me, with his hands on his hips. I put my hand on the back of my neck and my face turns into a nervous grin. "I just couldn't rech...sleep. I couldn't sleep." I told him. Its not the whole truth but its not really a lie either. "You were going to say recharge...weren't you?" He kneeled down in front of me, with a curious look on his helm. "No I don't know what your talking about." Hoping he would just by it. "Yes you do. You were going to say recharge. Why would you say that? Your not a cybertronian?" He questioned me. I'm getting really nervous now. " Well living with a cybertronian, I picked up a lot of words you guys use." I explained, trying to sound true. "Well I guess that makes sense." He stands back up. Still giving me a look of doubt. He doesn't believe me.
"So was Optimus upset that you didn't go back with Ratchet?" I asked him changing the subject. Wheeljack brought his servo down to my level. I stepped on, knowing what he wanted. He brought me back up to his face, showing me a smirk. "Nah, I stayed back to repair my ship. Then come back here." He said to me. His eyes staring down to me. "What did you do to your ship" I said crossing my arms. "Don't worry, It wasn't that bad. I was able to fix it. It only took me a few Earth hours." He stated. "Were you hurt?" I asked him. "No...." I gave him a small glare. "Maybe a little..." Now I giving a full on glare and I put my hands on my hips. "I'm fine. I came back in one piece didn't I?" He empathized. All I did was grunt and turn around, crossing my hands back over my chest. "Hey don't be like that." He says behind me. He then turns around, I see the open doors to the shop and look out. The sun is starting to rise now. Its one of the more beautiful things I've found on Earth. "So beautiful." I say aloud. Wheeljack raises his eyebrow at me. "It is, just like you." He looks down at me. I couldn't help my face from heating up.
